365 project:"despair will ravage you"

70.

artist:saves the day
album:stay what you are

i ignored this band for far too long. it took a few releases, and for a song from this album to get attention and airplay on the radio and MTV for me to even give them a glance. i was young and stupid. as i was pulling away from my house tonight i turned the volume way up and just started singing along at the top of my lungs. i haven't listened to this album in ages and it still elicits that kind of response from me. i don't know why i stopped listening to stay what you are. maybe i played it out when i first bought it, because i did spin this disk an awful lot. i honestly cant say now why i stopped but i think its going to be hard for me to take it out of the CD player tomorrow when its time to listen to something else.

I'm trying to think if i have any good stories to go along with this album. i feel like there should be something from the Chris era in my life, but nothing is coming to mind. i suppose i don't have to have a story to go along with every album i cover over the course of this year, but its going to be boring to just say' "hey, i listened to this, the end." I'm struggling with the fact that i spent so much time listening to this album and don't really have anything to show for it.

even if i don't have any old stories to tell, usually something happens during the day that relates to the album I've chosen. that isn't even the case today. i just pulled a CD case off of the shelf and ran out of the house to take care of some things tonight. i mean, tonight was the first time I've seen or really talked to my best friend in nearly three weeks, but that doesn't relate to the album much, since its mostly about hate and destroying body parts.

I'm going to stop rambling about nothing now, because this is becoming more pointless by the second. I'm going to have to be sure i have a story for an album before i pick it off of the shelf, i suppose.
